NO RELAXATION
IN COAL RULES
Officials Warn of Further
Need For the Fuel
Regulations
Washington, Dec. 11—Expressions
by Government officials of satisfac
tion and relief at the settlement of
the Nation-wide strike of bituminous
coal miners were couple*, to-day
with warnings to the American peo
ple that early relaxation of the dras
tice restrictions on the consumption
coal must not be expected.
Fuel Administrator Garfield im
mediately on receipt of word that
the miners in Indianapolis had
agreed to accept President Wilson's
proposal, declared that immediate
removal of regulations on soft coal
consumption was not to be consid
ered.
Director General Hines in a for
mal statement asserted that disloca
tion created by the strike could not
be remedied instantly. The public,
Mr. Hines said, will be expected to
continue conserving fuel until nor
mal conditions are restored but just
as soon as practicable restrictions
will be rescinded or modified.
"As a preliminary to bringing back
normal conditions," said the Direc
tor General, "coal mined will be al
lowed to run as billed except the

ANOTHER NOTE
SENT TO MEXICO
It Deals With Interference
of American Oil
Properties
Washington, Dec. 11.—Another
memorandum on the Mexican situ
ation from President Wilson is on
its way to Carranzo to-day. It deals
with the interference of the Mexi
can government with the operation
of American owned oil properties In
Mexico and was prepared by Chair
man Payne, of the Shipping Board,
after representatives of the Asso-
I ciated Mexican Oil Producers,
headed by F. R. Kellogg, of New
| York, had presented the situation to
| him.
i At the same time Mr. Payne pre
pared and sent to Secretary Lansing
a letter urging the importance of
protecting the American supply of
Mexican fuel oil upon which the
Shipping Board is almost solely de
pendent for fuel for its 500 oil burn
ing passenger and freight steamers.
It developed to-day that the State
Department has been continuing to
protest to the Mexican government
against decrees forbidding the drill
ing of new wells on privately owned
property in the Tampico fields and
other decrees affecting the oil in
terests of American and other
foreigners in Mexico.
Makes Third Note
Three notes have been dispatched
within six months, but it was said
that President Carranza had not re
plied to any of them. The first
went forward last June 18, the
second on October 1, and the third
on November 18. In the first two
[ the State Department specifically
protested against the action of the
Mexican government in preventing
the drilling of new wells on prop
erty owned by Americans and in
sisted upon more adequate protec
tion of Americans working in the
Tampico oil region.
The note of November 18 was.dis
putched after receipt of official in- j
formation that Carranza soldiers had
seized another American owned
well on November 12.
It is learned that Mexican military
forces at various times during the |
past month have stopped drilling j
operations of American companies j
on the pretext that "permits" to drill
had not been obtained. In, order to
obtain the "permits" foreign oil
companies must agree in advance
that such wells as may be drilled
would become the property of the
Mexican government. The United
States has repeatedly protested
against these decrees in particular.
Certain American owned com
panies desiring to increase oil pro
duction to meet the present fuel oil
shortage in the United States, it was
said, have drilled wells without ad
mitting the loss of their property by
such acts. The State Department,
both in formal notes and in in
formal communications, was said to
have informed the Mexican govern
ment that this action by the Ameri
i can companies was not in defiance
of the Mexican authorities, but only
the exercising of rights acquired un
der Mexican law.
British Promise to
Replace Excess Coal
on the Imperator
Washington, Dec. 11.—Decision
of the railroad administration to
permit sailing of the Cunard liner
Imperator from New York to-day
resulted from an offer of British
ministry of marine and the ship's
agents to replace the coal loaded on
the vessel in excess of existing
bunkering restrictions. In accept
ing the offer, the railroad admini
stration reserved the right to insti
tute criminal or civil action in the
case.
Maryland Collides
With Carmania
Boston, Dec. 11. —Messages inter
cepted at the naval radio station here
last night told of a collision between
the British steamers Carmania and
Maryland about 500 miles east of
Halifax. The Carmania was slightly
| damaged. The messages did not in
dicate the extent of the damage to
the Maryland.
The position in which the collision
occurred was given as latitude 45.40
north, longitude 53.17 west.
The Carmania is bound from Liv
erpool for New York and the Mary
land is believed to be bound from
Baltimore for London. One of the
messages from the Carmania, declin
ing a proffer of aid from another
steamer, said that assistance was not
needed, as the damage sustained did
not affect the ship's safety. Another
message said that the Carmania was
"proceeding all right."
DENVER BOYS' NEW SPORT
A number of large auto tires roll
ing blithely down Cheesman Park hill
at a bigh rate of speed caused a traf
fic blockade at Tenth and Franklin
streets several afternoons last week.
Passing pedestrians and autoists
stood in open-mouthed amazement,
looking at what appeared to be auto
tires endowed with life, some rolling
with perfect balance, others reeling
drunkenly from side to side and at
the end of the hill landing in a heap.
Upon closer observation the tires
wore fount to be filled with small boys
curled snugly in the inside of the rim
and hugely enjoying the consterna
tion of the passerby.
Tire racing is the latest fad In the
sport realm of the small boy, and the
lad whose father owns an automo
bile and a number of old tires, is the
most popular member of his group.
The tires are hauled to the top of the
hill, and, in order to make the race
successful, twice the number of boys
as there are tires are required. When
the contestants are properly curled
in the tires, with feet and hands firm
ly braced, the boys behind the tires'
called the starters, give them a push
and away they go. spinning down the
two blocks of unbroken hill, ending
at Tenth and Franklin.
The object i to keep a perfect bal
ance and arrive at the finish without
a spill, but this is exceedingly diffi
cult, due to the dizzy feeling caused
by the spinning. Often there is a
gieat crash and all of the tires and
occupants fall in a heap upon each
other. After untangling themselves
and gaining their equilibrium the
boys crawl back into the tires and
resume the race. After several after
nccns of experience the dizziness is
overcome and the tires proceed down
the hill in fairly orderly fashion.
This promises to be as popular as
baseball and unless fond parents find
seme other and more profitable means
of disposing of old tires the hills and
parks of Denver soon probably will
be populated with seemingly living
robber tubes.—Denver Rocky Moun

Admits Killing
Man Three Years Ago
Scranton, Dec. 11.—Jesse Murphy, |
gangster and gunman of Boston, now
serving a 12-year sentence in the |
Farvlew Ayslum for Criminal Insane, i
to-day made what he declared was j
a confession of the murder of Ed- I
ward J. Foley, manager of the store |
at Foxbury, Mass., three years ago. j
Murphy's statement was made freely, I
his only motive in admitting the ;
crime being, he said, to free Charles I

convicted and sentenced to life lm- i
prisonment for the crime. The con- j
fession was secured by a Boston j
newspaperman who was accompa- !
nied to the asylum by a former friend ]
of Murphy's. |>
Rollins, who greatly resembles '
Murphy, was identified by a woman
who witnessed the shooting. After j
Rollins' conviction former friends of
Murphy told the court Rollins was
innocent. The court suggested they j
get a statement from Murphy that |
might result in a pardon for Rol
lins.
